Google has recently announced an update to its Inactive Google Account Policy, which will result in the deletion of millions of inactive accounts that have been untouched for at least two years. This move aims to address the security risks associated with abandoned accounts. So, Let’s delve into the details of Google's revised policy and its implications for users.
Google decides to delete any account that has two years of inactivity. See how they decide to go about it.
Ah; that explains it; I have multiple accounts cross-linked as recovery accounts. Sounds like I’ll be fine as long as I don’t run afoul of their “inactive” rules.
It was disappointing. I had uber1337 and lost it due to them refusing to let me log back in. That name doesn’t mean much now, but it was pretty l33t back then.
Edit: I guess it’s actually a pretty stupid name now that there’s a taxi company named Uber. Cool, I just made peace with losing that account. Haha!
